Does OOO hate money?
So why hasn't there been another expansion mission after roughly 15 months?

Because the last one went so well. More exclusive, spammy, arguably overpowered weapons, anyone? No thanks.

i wouldnt mind another expansion mission as long they dont make another mission were everything its gray and red with a boring music that make you feel sleepy and get tired to play the same levels without color.

Three Rings will be Three Rings
Three Rings is simply slow at putting out content. It can't compare to larger studios in this respect.
This is also why many players quit SK.

"Does OOO hate
"Does OOO hate money?"
NOOOOO!!!!
Quite the opposite.
/hopes I don't get banned here
They love money. They love it sooo much...
they're planning on selling us out. No new content to come only their future careers with Sega/EA and whatever the other aliases they are working under as indie game developers.
The way I see it, CE prices don't matter. Neither does the fact that few new users are joining. So what if you can't give away a 2* item anymore let alone sell one. All online game bugs and glitches will be resolved. New content will be added. Even why that horrible UI we all hate and was shoved down our throats will be explained.
How you ask...
Easy EA buys Sega...which nets the buy of SK... pokemon style critters get stuck in there...sonic (yes I've been stalking XD) shows up...SK becomes a console game (hence the game console style UI that is needed so badly against online users wishes) with additional content in the form of purchasable updates/games like the SIMS did...and to be played on the next generations of consoles coming out later this year.
Hey Nick, did I hit it on the head? And why Sonic?

Umm..
It shows how things have gotten, they just cannot balance their work load.. What do you expect? They chose to waste their time on that ridculous UI instead of something more legit for the game.. They are not even trying to explain their actions so all I can say for now is that the devs don't undestand how to do things and what is important and what is not.
At first they put out promos every month, now they suddenly stopped it for months. They said they will be putting out more DLC contents but stopped at 1.. They listen to 8 year olds who think this game is too hard and the solution for it is not to get ebtter gear and strategize.. but to NERF the shizz out of everything. Sigh.
I agree that the community has its problems as well.. people asking for new content and Kilpik saying that content bought with real money is not supposed to yield good rewards such as good weapons?.. DB is not OP.. hammer is only good in t1 and t2 LD (not even PVE).. yet it is easily counterable with skill and strategy.. but no lets whine some more. Whatever, I dont think I can blame them, we are all getting restless.

@Dragonicblaze
I am so proud
@Dragonicblaze
I am so proud to see that someone realizes the ineffectiveness of Hammer vs skilled players. I will disagree with you in PvE respects, because Hammer is an excellent weapon with a shock or freeze-based loadout. The hammer is a weapon with a very high skill floor but a very low skill ceiling. It's like the hadouken, in the respect that although a power tactic in its own right it can be countered by player skill. Weapons like the Polaris and Hammer can be easily countered, and if you die by any of these weapons you only have yourself to blame.

OCH sucked.
Dude, that mission bombed. The only thing going for it was the weapons.
It was so terrible, first time, i didnt feel like completing it all.
and tha Hammer is terribly overpowered. I can score like 14k in Lockdown and that should worry you if you know how i play.
and its kinda not useful in PvE. With groups, you shouldnt dare do the 2nd swipe which hurtles all the enemies at your buddies.

@Neodasus
Ah yes with freeze and shock situations and gun puppies and lumbers, it is extremely good. I was focusing on the 2nd swing of the hammer that leaves u very vulnerable in JK and fsc (3rd swing = death). Also glad there are still people who think of skill and strategy before branding weapons to be OP :P
@Canine_Vladmir 14k in t3 isnt great so.. considering the hammer does do a lot of dmg just like DA/GF. So no sir, u just need to improve urself instead of talking about hammer being OP..

There is literally nothing
There is literally nothing for Tier 3 player to spend money on. Once we reach endgame, that's it. We'll spend at the most probably 9-30 dollars rolling UVs but then it gets extremely repetitive. This game has so much potential, just give us a level editor guys.

"Fixed, and somehow I have a hunch OOO takes a little more pride in their work than you suggest."
Wake up. Where you seen good plot in that game? "Go to core" they said. Will be fun they said... And what? Core closed! Go to hell!
It looks like it been concocted on the spot. I say wrong?
"They listen to 8 year olds who think this game is too hard and the solution for it is not to get ebtter gear and strategize.."
Sad, but true...
@Vlad - 14k is much... but in T2.

That game surely needs new content - what is not UI, or stupid facilities, BUT maybe OOO finnaly came to his senses and tries to repair that, what already is here and that, what should be repaired centuries ago - By balancing weapons for example...

Hm
Maybe they realized how much of a [unpleasant] move was to have both premium currency and add things that can't be bought with the premium currency you already paid for.
They must have also realized how [unpleasantish] it was to make you pay for shadow lairs every damn time with CE though.
I don't even know what they are planning next.

"That game surely needs new content - what is not UI, or stupid facilities"
I'm sorry, what? What exactly is it that you want from new content if not new levels and monsters? I don't know about you guys, but compounds are awesome. They're decently challenging, full of fun little puzzley bits, look beautiful, and get pretty frantic at the end. They're also somewhat randomized and as such feel a bit fresh every time.

If i remember well, OOO is currently testing a new type of monster (and a couple prestige missions/clockworks levels). The test servers are already up, the new monsters are fiends, and seem to be a bulkt/tanky kind of monsters.

In what way are they too easy? I find them decently challenging. I'd put them at about... 2/3s danger mission difficulty, which is comfortable.

I found the Compounds to be underwhelming, and the fact that swarm-type enemies can only be found within these levels is disappointing. I personally breeze through these levels with little effort so I'm not particularly entertained by them. Of course, it is still new content, but I'm not really all that thrilled by it myself.

For all those complaining about new content:
We still have the battle sprites to look forward to.
For those about the UI: Maybe they wanted a fresh start?
When I was a recruit, I quit for a long time after I found out they were teamed with SEGA, so I didn't get to see a whole lot of updates, but that doesn't mean I'm not a 2-year veteran.
Everything seems normal to me. Give them time. Maybe they're working on something in secret?
Now for some replies.
@Tantarian You can [also] get Shadow Keys in the Auction House. *LE GASP!*
@Canine-Vladmir: You can use the second swing to dodge or land another hit. You click twice to dodge, and click 3 times for 2 swings. And can we take PVP mode out of this? I already make the RT's look like babies with my Magma Driver.
Over all I think the updates are good. I've been looking for something to get me back in the game, but I'm tired of people barely giving constructive criticism or suggestions and making fun of OOO for the new UI and other updates.
I'll admit the new UI has its good things and bad things. But that's for a later post.
I respect your opinions of not liking something, but try not to sound mean about it.
Devilites got nerfed? CEEEEEEEELABRATION TIME COME ON!

@Neodasus: "I don't even care about the weapons. I just want some content."
Why does it have to come in the form of expansions? Why not just more missions, or better yet new arcade content?
@Dragonicblaze: About the hammer, I really don't want to get into it now, but I'll just say as I have many times before that the hammer is far too easy to use and far too effective for such ease of use. Yes, it might not be effective at high levels of LD, but how many people ever get there? As for PvE, I don't have one myself but it seems like an average weapon.
@Neo's response to Dragon: skill/power ratio is too low. too much power for not enough skill.
@people who say compounds aren't easy: brandish. BTB. Kthxbye.
@Everyone: I thought this was a thread about lack of expansions. How and why did it become about lack of content overall?

It's reasonable for consumers
It's reasonable for consumers hold expectations about a product.
No need to be a fanboy of three rings. If they aren't doing their job well, it's our responsibility to remind them what we want.
P.S. I swear most of the SK community is 10-16. Otherwise, I'm incredibly disappointing in their maturity.
Fri, 04/26/2013 - 22:26
#37
Yes ...
But there's a difference between having expectations, and having failure to meet those expectations result in antisocial behavior.
Seriously, there have been several times I've felt rather sorry for the Game Masters because they have to wade through comments that basically accuse the developers of being lazy, greedy, ignorant, incompetent, etc. While everyone has things they'd like to be changed, myself included, I find it completely appalling that having things not go someone's way is a license to incessantly berate people. If there's a problem, say so, once. Maybe a couple times if nothing gets done over a reasonable period. There is absolutely no condition under which it is reasonable to insult the developers personally.
But, as you said, it seems a lot of people either are in early adolescence, or aren't being given any incentive to act their actual age.

Apparently materials are nothing. Do I have to spell everything out?.
Even with the 500 crown fee, you're still earning much more than Firestorm Citadel, while not even needing to have access to that 9-3 mission. Any 4 star Knight/Defender player can do this level and earn some serious dough.
And those Ravenous Warren levels are just spilling at the brim with Scales. I don't think I've done a run of them yet without getting at least 1 Drake and Dragon Scale, and 5 Beast Scales.

So nicely said.
"it completely appalling that having things not go someone's way is a license to incessantly berate people", which I agree with completely and assume you mean in the context of business or with others that we are trying to get something out of that we want or feel we deserve. Its also bizarrely atrocious to attack and blame children for their lack of success in obtaining what is wanted and deserved. All that's really being accomplished is putting a whole lot of negativity into the game and community and making things look like there a troublesome game with a nasty, irate community. That makes others who are new to the game and considering starting an account leave and not want to be here. It sends them looking elsewhere for other games to try. It brings down those who are here and makes some of them leave. The best of the bees stay, whining and complaining, ruining the game and it's community but they never hate it so much that they actually stop signing in. They just make everyone else not want to be here and act out in inappropriate ways. They make developers hate their job and site leaving them not wanting to do anything for the game and community.

*%&$ off you nasty whining drama queens!!!
You people can be so stupid. There's a right way and a wrong way of doing things. And you got it all wrong. To dirty up a forum yelling at it's creators, owners and staff about things you don't want/want and then complaining they don't read them so you go and make more and more and more is insane. Hoping for, wanting and trying to get a different resolute from the same action is the definition of insanity. There are better ways.
How many of you contacted support when our shard bombs stopping working asking why they don't kill anymore?
How many of you contacted support about the crowns and mist that vanished from your account when the new UI was installed?
How many of you called, emailed or snail mailed OOO?
Hey, I understand, it's easier to be a lame forum drama queen. I wish OOO would create a random variable in all monsters which would make a monster blow up in your face when attacked immediately killing you.

How many times do you run
How many times do you run Vana each day? Yeah. For what exactly? You're being held hostage and you're the last to realize it.
@Little-Juances
Danger missions are a step up, and actually have some difficulty to them. I would have loved to pay for them if they had a few more levels to each one. The payout is great and in some cases better than Vana, and they are actually fun to replay! There is nothing that is easily accessible(one time fee expansion mission or flat out free) that has any sort of replayability.

@Neo: So do I have to tell you about the time I spent all my Primal Sparks on Dragon scales and got enough money to make half of my 4* set?
Also, I try not to run FSC, because even though I basically funded my 5* set from it and got an Ancient Plate shield, I've already gotten sick of it. And danger missions are only appealing because you can't play them enough to get tired of them, plus they're chock-full of artificial difficulty.
Assuming for the moment this isn't a terrible joke, it's probably because there's better value in continuing to market CE sales.
Either that or they haven't found a good enough story to justify a separate mission, I don't know.
